SAN FRANCISCO. April 25.— (HE)—1The tense Pacific coast tanker strike, now six weeks old, reached its most serious climax tonight when a federal mediation board said peace was “imporslble” and announced it was withdrawing from the dispute.
“The board believes it is impossible to bring together the tanker operators and their striking employes,” said the board in a statement signed by the chairman, Albert Rosenshine. San Francisco attorney.
“Under the circumstances there is nothing further the board ■ .n do unless it receives further instructions from Washington.”
The three-man board was appointed by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to seek settlement of the strike.
Deadline Tomorrow Tomorrow is the deadline set by tanker operators for their striking emnloyes to return to work or face withdrawal of conciliatory offers for settlement of the strike.
Many of the tankers already are being operated by strike-breakers.
Violence has marked the dispute in the last two weeks. Service stations, particularly those of the Standard Oil company, have been bombed. Standard Oil technically is not involved in the strike, but unionists charge the company has led resistance to their demands.
Eleven Arrasled Eleven men are under arrest in Modesto, eight of them held on $20,-000 bail each, after some of their number assertedly confessed a plot to bomb Jan Joaquin property of the Standard Oil company.
The unionists cried “frame-up” in reply to the arrests.
Involved in the trouble are the Seamen’s union, the masters, mates and pilots, marine engineers, and firemen and radio telegraphists. Approximately 2,300 men -e directly involved in the strike.
In addition to Chairman Rosenshine, other members of the mediation board are Thomas C. Ridgeway, Los Angeles, and Daniel C. Murphy, San Francisco.
